FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day trainers are specifically designed for walking and casual wear. They provide excellent cushioning and support for walking activities but may not offer the specific features or support required for high-impact running.
Can I replace the insole?
While the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is integrated for optimal comfort, some users may be able to remove it to insert custom orthotics. However, this is not guaranteed for all models and may affect the shoe's fit.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should allow for comfortable toe splay.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day trainers are not waterproof. The flat knit upper is designed for breathability, which means it is not water-resistant. They are best suited for dry conditions.
How often should I wash my trainers?
It is recommended to wash your trainers when they appear visibly dirty or after significant use that causes odor. Regular cleaning according to the care instructions will help maintain their condition and longevity.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
Vegan materials mean that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
Gently stretch the elastic laces and the opening of the shoe before putting them on. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.
While the cushioning is designed for durability, it may naturally decrease over extended periods. Ensure you are cleaning and caring for them properly to maintain material integrity.
Slight odor development.
Due to the breathable materials, odors can occur with frequent use. Ensure the shoes are aired out thoroughly after each wear and follow machine washing instructions regularly.
Insole feels slippery.
If the insole feels slippery, ensure socks are dry and made of a breathable material. If the insole itself becomes damp, allow the shoes to air dry completely.
